LOTS OF WILDLIFE ON THE WAY TO KENAI
The town of Kenai isn’t a destination in itself, but driving there offers lots of opportunities to see wildlife. We saw a Mom and baby moose and two separate female moose at the side of the road. Road signs warned of Moose on the roads, saying that 183 moose had been killed on roads in the area over the past winter. Moose are so tall that when a car hits them, they can end up coming through the windshield. We learn that Moose are actually more dangerous than bear, on the roads and because they’re fast and can charge people if they’re irritated. So, they’re not to be treated as Bullwinkle – but we do enjoy seeing them.
We drive through Kenai River Flats, which includes 3000 acres of Marsh. On this early June drive, we see a Caribou enjoying grass just off of the road through the Marsh.
